On 30th of December 2022 our eldest son took us to Bahria Town Karachi. A new modern city building by group of investors who's chief organizer is Malik Riadh .He ,after the great success of this housing scheme in Islamabad ,Lahore decided to extend Karachi on advanced technology and highly developed project. We have had heard but never got chance to visit. So among other few choices for day trip in Karachi our eldest son chose this new tow near Karachi ,one hour drive away from main city . On arrival we again had many attractions to select and with all votes zoo was chosen . Zoo was really huge for strolling by feet so it too our all day . To exit from zoo we had to took help from google map in order to find out the shortest way so we can be on time on dancing fountain .Hope you will like the glimpse that i choose to share among so many images .
dancing fountain opens for public only on Sundays so my son wanted us to show specially as it was going to be our first time to witness such fantastic show and i lack words how it just mesmerized me once it began . haha my eldest son peaked into my teary eyes and laughed that how much i liked it .
there were so many people in the park and continued to increase though park was huge and people seemed little before it's vastness
when during exploring park kids felt it is lunch time
after entrance
younger son asked me to stand and then i took his too
i loved the very broad and well maintained park ,neat ,beautifully managed and serene despite of people everywhere ,sky above seemed so close
and all animals looked peaceful may be was the weather or better care ,no unrest i found in them ,i even forgot to feel bad for their confinement which i face each time i visit Islamabad Ayobe park
we saw many people were using such rides to explore park and i think they were right
Majestic! isn't he , there were many in one place i think it was a big family ,same were the other tiger and lion whom's babies were playing joyously ,sorry could not found image of them ,later hopefully
what a coincidence when they both suddenly came close and i clicked ,lucky shot ,as they returned back asap
giraffe was our last friend to see as sun was leaving quickly
after sometime we realized that we are returning to same place again .this was when eldest son thought of using google map and we were out in minutes
seems like heaven must look like this
another thing that we saw for the first time was watching a peacock dancing ,glorious scene indeed
a beautiful canal flowing in the heart of park look divinely beautiful specially in the evening ,no time to ride boat so we just took some quick shots
our eldest son left on the same night while leaving us with many more sweet memories . he is truly a gift to his family for which we can nver be enough grateful ! God bless him with all other sons of loving parents amen!
I am trying my best to visit all of you dear friends! thank you for being with me always! my thoughts and best wishes are always with you all! health ,peace and happiness to all of you!
Very nice. peacock is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this lovely family time! You are so lucky to have such good children.
ReplyDeleteBaili, thank you for sharing te photos of your trip to the zoo and especially of your family. Everyone looked so happy and seeing a family together is one of life's treasures. I know how you value all your sons as as very proud mother and it looks like they are all doing well and have grown so much -- just like our grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteThe city looks wonderful and the zoo looks fun, but my favourite picture is that beautiful shot of you among all the pink flowers!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a lovely family outing! Blessings to all of you, dear friend. You have wonderful memories that you can cherish while your son is away.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip. Travel shows us so much about the world and its people.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely visit! Such wonderful family time! Love those smiling faces!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA llama! I love them.
Your son is very blessed indeed.
I loved this post, Baili! It was great to see your whole family together having fun. Your younger sons are really growing up. And the picture of you by the fuchsia bougainvillea is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI looked up Bahria Town Karachi and had fun checking it out. The Grand Jamia Mosque is beautiful. Actually the whole suburban development is beautiful with really interesting architecture, even an "Eiffel Tower." I often see nyala like the ones you photographed at the Tembe Elephant Park waterhole. And I can see how it took you the whole day to walk around by the scale of the boat pond on the map.
The Bahria Dancing Fountain was awesome! It reminded me of the dancing fountains outside the Bellagio in Las Vegas. I have watched the dancing waters there a number of times, and they never fail to mesmerize me. The music in your video was Canadian Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On." It was the theme song of the movie Titanic." It's one of my favorite recordings of all time.
I'm sure it was bittersweet to have your oldest son return to London. You must be so proud of him and of your younger sons as well. Love and hugs to you!
Such a lovely family trip, bringing so many special memories.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy seeing all of these lovely photographs.
